The school of psychology colloquium series 2017. Gloria Fraser. VUW Ph.D. candidate. Will speak on queer and trans experiences of accessing mental health support. date wednesday 4th october 2017, time 10am till noon, venue EA527, fifth floor, Easterfield building.
Although a a substantial body of literature documents the high rates of menta health problems among queer and trans young adults, very few studies examine the experiences of queer and trans new zealanders who access mental health support.
This research aims to extend current understandings in the hope that this will inform training for the culturally responsive care of rainbow community members.
Study 1 will be a qualitative study of the experiences of queer and trans new zealanders who have accessed mental health support.
Subsequent studies will be informed by the results of study 1, and are likely to include a qualtitative study of the needs and preferences of queer and trans new zealanders within mental health support settings, as well as the development of an accessible resource for use by mental health professionals.]
